Thumb's Up Diner

Fodor's Review

You haven't really lived, or at least tested the limits of your heart's health, until you've tried "The Heap": a sizzling skillet full of eggs, buttery veggies, and potatoes. Add a fluffy biscuit on the side and this is one of the city's best breakfasts. With five locations around town, Thumb's Up also has good lunch options, and some might be better for your ticker, including tamari-flavored tofu served on a bed of raw spinach. The place gets packed on weekends, so bring something to read while you wait.
